Hwang Family

Before heading out on her undercover mission, my daughter Anna Stone left me a farewell letter. My husband, Wayne Stone, who adores her, reads it and immediately posts her photo on Instagram. His caption reads, "I heard Anna's on a mission. Let's see how many drug dens she'll take down this time." Anna's devoted husband, Gabriel Morrison, barely glances at the letter before dropping her exact location online. Anna's twin brother, Casper Stone, has always been inseparable from her. However, after reading the letter, he goes straight to the drug dealers and brings them to her. Anna's cover is blown, the mission fails, and all 37 officers are wiped out without a trace. I collapse in despair, lashing out at them with desperate questions, only to be bound and sent to Mirewick, a notorious criminal den. When I open my eyes again, I find myself back on the day Anna sets out on her mission.

After I got pregnant, I witnessed my boyfriend's grandmother's death. She left behind a secret, and now, everyone who knows that secret is dead. First, it was my boyfriend's father who died. My boyfriend's mother followed soon after. Lastly, my boyfriend died too. He ended his life by overdosing right before my eyes. The media went wild. They dug obsessively for the truth. Again and again, the police summoned me for questioning. Online hate toward me was overwhelming. Everyone wants to know what the secret is. People claim I cursed my boyfriend's entire family to death, just to keep the secret to myself. I stay silent, never saying a word in defense of myself. On the seventh day after my boyfriend had passed, I spot someone at his funeral. At that moment, I place my hand on my swollen belly. I am utterly calm and at peace. It is time for me and my child to die too.

Arranged-marriage sa isang kilalang angkan sa bansa, ang mga Lopelion. Ngunit sa halip na matuwa ay nadismaya pa si Luna Fajardo nang makasal sa huwad na Lopelion. Si Marcus, ang adopted son ng pamilya. Isang warden prison, hindi tanyag at walang pangalan sa lipunan. Sa paanong paraan mapapakinabangan ng pamilya niya ang isang ampon? May mabuti bang maidudulot ang pagpapakasal niya rito? O, kamalasan lamang ang hatid nito sa pamilya at buhay niya?

After the college entrance exam, my parents left me at home and took their adopted daughter on a trip to the beach. A typhoon hit, and the three of them never came back. When the news reached me, I did not cry or throw a tantrum. I had their deaths registered right away and pulled out the life insurance I had bought in advance. I received one hundred million in compensation. My fiance scolded me for caring only about money. What he did not know was that I had been reborn. In my past life, after I learned about their deaths, the huge debts they had left behind fell on me. I gave up the chance to go to college and started working to pay everything back. I fought to protect our ancestral home from debt collectors. My fiance stayed with me and cheered me on when I came home late at night from delivery runs. But he never gave me a single cent to help. At thirty-five, I finally cleared every debt. On my birthday, I bought myself a ten-dollar cake to celebrate. Just as I was about to blow out the candle, the door opened. My parents and their adopted daughter, who should have died in the typhoon, walked in dressed in designer clothes. They smiled at me smugly. “Well done! We can finally believe that you aren’t greedy for money. You’ve passed the test. From today, you are qualified to be the daughter of the Jameson family.” “Jane, this brilliant idea was all thanks to you.” My adopted sister smiled. She leaned close and blew out my candle. The only light left in my twenty years of lifetime went out with it. My body gave in to exhaustion. My heart failed. I collapsed and died on the spot. When I opened my eyes again, they were about to head to the beach in the middle of the typhoon. I bought a massive accident insurance policy for them on the spot. This time, all I wanted was for them to disappear from this world forever.

My parents' enemy kidnaps me and livestreams chopping off my fingers just to force them to show up. For a time, the entire Internet searches for my parents. But what they don't know is that the captain who appeared in the livestream is my biological father. At that moment, he's on a beach in Hashford, setting off magnificent fireworks for his adopted daughter. And on their barbecue table, the livestream of my fingers being severed is playing. Later on, when I survive long enough to be rescued, I reach out my mangled hand to touch my parents. They recoil in disgust and leave without looking back, taking the adopted daughter out for Wersole food. But they don't know that the thing hidden within my mangled palm will make them regret their actions beyond measure.

My husband and I have been married for a decade. When I finally conceive for the first time in ten years, I realize my worst enemies are my family, who all want me dead. I've made a promise to return to the fertility shrine on the mountain and fulfill my vow if things work out, but my mother-in-law deliberately messes up the cable car tickets. In the process of hiking up the mountain for two hours, I lose my baby. In the hospital, I cry to my husband about all the vicious things his mother has done to me, but he kicks me in the stomach. "I had a vasectomy a long time ago. There's no way that bastard inside you is mine!" When he hands me the proof, I'm completely speechless. I break down in tears and run back to my parents' place. Not only do my parents hire a nanny to help take care of me, but they even move out of the house so I can rest in tranquility. When I'm eight months pregnant, I overhear them whispering in the bathroom. "We can never let Gina have the baby. I don't care if it kills her—we're all screwed if the child is born!" "Relax. The doctor already told me that Gina's got leukemia from all the formaldehyde in our new house. Even the baby's deformed!" Shocked, I burst into the bathroom to confront them, but the slippery floor causes me to fall hard. Instantly, blood snakes across the tiles. As I lie there in pain, I look up and see the cold, twisted smiles on my parents' faces before taking my last breath. I cannot fathom why my family wants me dead. I thought they'd been looking forward to his baby for a decade. When I open my eyes again, I return to the very day my mother-in-law insists on taking me to the mountain.

Ich erfuhr zur gleichen Zeit wie Rosa, dass ich schwanger war. Sie war die Jugendliebe meines Ehemanns, der in der Mafia war. Um ihr Baby davor zu schützen, auf Drängen ihrer Eltern abgetrieben zu werden, gab mein Mann ihr Baby als sein eigenes aus. Und was war mit meinem? Er redete mir gut zu und sagte, er würde es erst nach der Geburt von Rosas Baby als sein eigenes anerkennen können. Ich konfrontierte ihn und verlangte zu wissen, warum er mir das antat. Seine Antwort war kalt und unerschütterlich: „Ihr Baby als mein eigenes anzuerkennen, war die einzige Möglichkeit, sie beide zu schützen. Ich werde nicht zulassen, dass ihr oder dem Kind etwas zustößt!“ In jenem Moment, als ich den Mann ansah, den ich zehn Jahre lang geliebt hatte, wurde mir klar, dass meine Liebe zu ihm bereits gestorben war. Nicht lange danach verurteilte mich meine Familie. Sie nannten mich eine Schlampe, weil ich ein Kind ohne Vater bekommen würde, und drängten mich zu einer Abtreibung. Währenddessen hielt sich mein Mann in einer anderen Stadt bei seiner Geliebten auf und half ihr durch ihre Schwangerschaft. Als er dann zurückkam, war ich allerdings bereits weg.

Ich war im neunten Monat schwanger. Ein ehemaliger Mitarbeiter, der meinen Mann hasste, weil dieser ihn ersetzt hatte, schleppte mich auf das Dach und stich Dutzende Male auf mich ein. Mein Mann, der Chef des Rettungsteams, mobilisierte unterdessen alle seine Leute, um seine depressive Jugendliebe aufzuhalten, die ihre Mietwohnung in Brand setzen wollte. Ich bat ihn nicht um Hilfe. Im letzten Leben hatte ich ihn angefleht, da hatte er sie zurückgelassen, um mich zu retten. Unser Baby und ich überlebten. Sie jedoch kam in den Flammen um, nachdem sie die Wohnung angezündet hatte. Er machte mir äußerlich keine Vorwürfe und buchte sogar einen Privatkreißsaal für mich. Doch genau an meinem Entbindungstag fesselte er mich. Stach auf mich ein. Auf unser Baby. Immer wieder! „Das war alles abgekartet mit ihm, stimmt’s?“, brüllte er. „Diese Messerstiche waren doch nicht schwer! Du wärst bestimmt nicht gestorben!“ „Wenn du Messerstiche so liebst – dann krieg sie jetzt!“ Als ich die Augen aufschlug, war ich zurückgewesen. Zurück auf diesem Dach, als Geisel. Diesmal war mein Entschluss gefasst: Ich würde ihn lassen, damit er sie retten konnte.

Alexander war betrunken und rief immer wieder den Namen seiner unerreichbaren Liebe. Am nächsten Morgen wachte er auf und erinnerte sich an nichts. Er forderte Theresa auf: „Finde die Frau von letzter Nacht!“ ... Theresa war schließlich verzweifelt und reichte Alexander die Scheidungspapiere ein. Als Grund gab sie an: „Die Frau wünscht sich Kinder, aber die Ehe ist wegen der Unfruchtbarkeit des Ehemanns gescheitert.“ Alexander, der nichts von alldem wusste, wurde wütend, als er die Nachricht erhielt. Er ließ Theresa zurückholen, um ihr zu beweisen, dass er sehr wohl zeugungsfähig war. Eines Abends, als Theresa von der Arbeit nach Hause kam, wurde sie plötzlich im Treppenhaus in eine Ecke gedrängt: „Wer hat dir erlaubt, ohne meine Zustimmung die Scheidung einzureichen?“ Theresa antwortete: „Du bist unfruchtbar, und ich soll keinen anderen Mann suchen dürfen?“ In dieser Nacht wollte Alexander Theresa zeigen, ob er tatsächlich zeugungsfähig war. Doch als Theresa einen Schwangerschaftsbericht aus ihrer Tasche zog, wurde Alexander wütend und fragte: „Wessen Kind ist das?“ Alexander suchte überall nach dem Vater des Kindes. Er schwor, den Mann, der Theresa schwanger gemacht hatte, umzubringen! Doch zu seiner Überraschung stellte sich heraus, dass er derjenige war...

When my parents were having an argument, my brother and I were put on the condenser fan unit out the window. We were tens of stories high. Our love-struck mother refused to let us back inside because he wanted our father to regret his decision. But that wasn't going to happen. Our father only felt that our mother was annoying. He then went out of the house after slamming the door behind him. Our mother was infuriated as she pointed as us. "If it weren't for you two drawbacks, I would have divorced him a long time ago. Shut your mouths or you can forget about coming back in!" My tears were blew dry by the cold wind. I swore inwardly that I would never forgive them. Later on, when our father was drunk driving and accidentally rammed into our mother. The two of them became disabled due to the car accident. The insurance company paid us over 1 million dollars, but I chose not to treat them.
